TALENT: Hugh Parker

Hugh Parker’s certainly not one to be type cast. In fact, in recent times the versatile actor’s been in high demand for a wide range of roles.

He’s currently rehearsing with Opera Queensland for a production of The Merry Widow. It’s a straight acting role, however, he does get to sing a song in Act Three.

Meanwhile, you may have heard him as the voice the Brisbane Racing Carnival.

In between gigs Hugh got down and dirty in an audition to play a Tiger Moth (below) and a cockroach named Geoff (above) in a future animated series.

Later in the year, Hugh will be working on “Lysa and the Freeborn Dames” for La Boite Theatre and a role in ABC’s Rosehaven. He’s a busy boy.

TALENT: Todd Levi

You can get it spruiking retail; you can get it playing it corporate; you can get it being that movie trailer guy. Matter of fact, Todd’s got it now. He’s quite the performer that Mr Levi. And he certainly deserved a good cold beer after voicing these cheeky little spots for VB.

She played British, Scottish, and German roles in the mysterious ‘The 39 Steps’, adapted to stage from the famous movie directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
